Overview
Antistatic PES is a modified version of polyethersulfone, engineered with conductive additives (often carbon fibers or proprietary compounds) to achieve consistent static dissipation. Unlike coatings, this permanent modification maintains properties through machining and wear. Developed for industries where electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses risks, it combines PES's inherent chemical resistance and mechanical strength with reliable surface resistivity. Major producers include BASF, Sumitomo Chemical, and specialty compounders serving high-tech sectors.
Physical and Chemical Properties
The material retains standard PES's high glass transition temperature (225°C) and UL94 V-0 flame rating while achieving 10^6–10^9 ohm-cm volume resistivity. Additives reduce triboelectric charging by 90% compared to virgin PES. Mechanical properties show minimal sacrifice: tensile strength remains 80–95 MPa, with <1% moisture absorption. Unlike antistatic ABS or PC, PES maintains performance in autoclave sterilization (150°C, 100+ cycles). Electrical properties are stable across -40°C to 180°C operational ranges.
Main Applications
Primary use is in ESD-sensitive electronics handling: chip carriers, wafer shuttles, and test fixtures where traditional metals risk contamination. Medical applications include surgical tool handles and imaging equipment components requiring repeated sterilization. Aerospace adopts it for fuel system components needing static control. Emerging uses include 3D-printed jigs for cleanroom assembly, where its low particulate generation outperforms coated alternatives. Grades with <10^8 ohms/sq surface resistivity meet ANSI/ESD S20.20 standards.
Safety and Storage
Material safety sheets classify antistatic PES as non-hazardous under normal use. Dust from machining requires N95 masks due to particulate concerns, not chemical toxicity. No special flammability precautions beyond standard thermoplastics. Storage mandates moisture-proof packaging to prevent additive migration. Bulk pellets should avoid prolonged (>6 months) storage above 30°C to maintain conductivity. Fabricated parts have essentially unlimited shelf life if protected from UV degradation.
B2B Procurement Guide
Specify required resistivity range (e.g., 10^6 vs 10^8 ohms), as this significantly impacts pricing. For medical uses, request USP Class VI or ISO 10993 test reports. Automotive buyers should verify OEM-specific standards like BMW GS 94016. Sample testing is critical – some grades exhibit anisotropic conductivity. MOQs for custom compounds start at 500kg, with lead times of 8–12 weeks. Spot purchases of standard grades are available through distributors like Ensinger or Röchling.
